This is a growth of 34% for the year ended December 31st, 2005 and 53% for the fourth quarter. On a comparable basis, the growth for the full year, excluding additional sales due to implementation of Direct Customer Delivery model (DCD) was 26% and for the fourth quarter 24%.
• The Profit before tax (PBT) for the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to Rs.1030.5 million (883.3). PBT for the fourth quarter 2005 stands at Rs.185.0 million (253.3).

The Board Recommended a dividend @ 35% on the paid-up capital.
"During the quarter we introduced the DCD model in order to provide a single window for our customers to the complete SKF product offering and also to continue to provide high service level and customer satisfaction. While the business environment continues to be positive, the results for the quarter have been adversely affected due to expenses related to prior periods. Excluding the non-recurring items, the profit before tax of the present quarter would have been slightly above the third quarter PBT. As per the present outlook, we expect a continuous strong sales growth in 2006" said Rakesh Makhija, Managing Director, SKF India Ltd.
